He drafted an unlikely roster: fishermen, tax collectors, and ordinary people nobody else would have picked. He trained them, ran beside them, and when they fumbled — and they did — He didn’t cut them from the team. On the cross, Jesus ran the ultimate play: giving His life so that everyone who trusts Him could win the victory over sin and death. He is the undefeated Champion, the Coach who already knows the final score, and He is inviting you onto His team — not because you’re the strongest or the fastest, but because He loves you and has a game plan for your life that nothing can stop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e5-Week Lesson Overview\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeek 1 — Draft Day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBible Story: God Picks the Underdog (1 Samuel 16:1–13)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey Discovery: God doesn’t look at what people see on the outside — He looks at the heart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakeaway: God has already scouted you, and He picks you for who you are on the inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeek 2 — Rookie Move\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBible Story: Timothy’s Training (1 Timothy 4:12–16)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey Discovery: Being young doesn’t disqualify you — training and faithfulness do the work that age can’t.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakeaway: You don’t have to wait until you’re older to live for God — your training starts now.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeek 3 — Teamwork Wins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBible Story: Aaron \u0026amp; Hur Hold the Line (Exodus 17:8–13)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey Discovery: No one wins alone — God designed His people to hold each other up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakeaway: When someone on your team is struggling, you are called to step in — and when you’re the one who’s tired, it’s okay to let your team hold you up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeek 4 — The Prophecy Play\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBible Story: Huldah Calls the Audible (2 Kings 22:8–20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey Discovery: When God’s Word speaks, the wisest play is to change direction immediately — even if it means throwing out your old game plan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakeaway: God’s Word is the Coach’s voice calling the play — and the smartest move is to listen and respond fast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeek 5 — Championship Mindset\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBible Story: Paul Runs to Win (1 Corinthians 9:24–27)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey Discovery: Following Jesus is not a talent show — it’s a training season that requires daily discipline and focus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakeaway: Faith isn’t about being naturally good — it’s about showing up to train every day because the prize is worth everything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Sunday School Store","offers":[{"title":"Kids 6-12 Years Old","offer_id":45774881161407,"sku":"game-plan-kids","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Preschool 3-5 Years Old","offer_id":45774881194175,"sku":"game-plan-prek","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/5254\/3371\/files\/GamePlan-TitleGraphic.jpg?v=1782428593","url":"https:\/\/sundayschool.store\/products\/game-plan-5-week-childrens-ministry-curriculum","provider":"Sunday School Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
